The Skin
What we ingest is not limited to the food we eat. The skin is our largest organ with so many functions.
It helps us regulate our body temperature, it protects us from the sun, and it forms part of our immune system by housing colonies of bacteria that ward off anything nasty from the outside, and obviously, allows us to physically feel sensations by touch.
The skin also keeps us nice and water proof, not only stopping water from getting in but also from leaking out.
All of the above it why it is so important that we take care of our skin and protect it from harm as much as we can, as it does us such great favours.
Various beauty products are regular visitors on to our skins surface, which is why natural makeup and beauty products are such a great alternative to cheaper and more toxic brands.
Clean ingredients within Belle and Sage Snowberry products will give us a clean body, planet, and conscience.
Belle and Sage only stock products that are hand-picked and have good quality ingredients. These products are free from unnecessary synthetic ingredients, free from potentially damaging toxins, and free from animal testing.
The Good and the Bad
At two opposite ends of the beauty spectrum lay pure toxic products and ingredients and then, those super nourishing ones.
Just like we address junk food with being bad foods and fruits and vegetables being good for us, it’s exactly the same with the way we treat our skin.
It’s important that we start paying closer attention to what we use on our face and body.
(Some of) The good:
- Aloe Vera: Soothing and healing for skin
- Apricot Kernel: Great for dry skin
- Argon Oil: For skin elasticity
- Calendula Oil: Healing and inflammatory properties
(Some of) The bad:
Parabens: Cheap preservatives used in most cosmetics to prolong the shelf life of the product.
Lead/Mercury: Mercury is an active ingredient of thimerosal which is used as a preservative in mascara.
Lead has been found in a very high portion of lipsticks on the market. Both highly toxic and whether ingested or absorbed into the skin can lead to numerous health issues including depression, brain damage, miscarriage, problems with the nervous system.
Toulene: A potent solvent and paint thinner found in nail polishes, nail hardener. It is a bone marrow toxin, possible link to leukaemia and blood cancer, may cause damage to a developing foetus.

People in this day and age have no patience and think once they use a products once, that’s it! And they will have amazing skin instantly.
Unfortunately for us, it doesn’t work that way. As they say, good things come to those who wait… and that isn’t up for discussion when it comes to skin care.
You have to nurture and love your skin daily and over time before it starts to show its true beauty.
Snowberry New Radiance Face Serum is suggested that it is used morning and evening after cleansing the face.
Other Snowberry products that would be great to use as part of this skin care routine would be Snowberry Instant Deep Cleanser.
It is great for make-up removal leaving skin ultra-smooth and clean, before applying Snowberry New Radiance Serum, and it also contains great natural oils for anti-inflammatory functions.
It takes 6-8 weeks for the New Radiance Serum to show some results and like with everything, everyone’s different and results are different.
Some may see it sooner, some later, some may not visibly see a difference but it may have strengthened the collagen under the skin therefore slowing the appearance of further wrinkles.
New Radiance Serum works by delivering Copper Tripeptide deep into the skin via the products delivery system.
New Radiance Serum has that special delivery system working deep into the so you want to make sure you don’t layer anything else with it, so let it absorb for several minutes before applying anything else.
